THE WAY TARIFF REFORM is
PREVENTED

Before the war, tariff taxation was
kept kept down to a moderate limit.
The extraordinary expenses Of the
government duriag the war necessi-
tated an enormous increase, and al
though the war has been over more
than 90 years the tariff has not been
reduced. 1t is so large that even
with all the extravagant legislation
and the enormous pension roll, yet it
produces over one hundred millions
annually moro than is needed, all
coming fram the pockets Of the PEG
pie in increased prices on what they
consume. This is what is called the
surplus in the Treasury.
1t would seem that it would be
quite easy for Congress to reduce
tariff taxation, upon such a STATE of
Facts, bat year after year it fails to
do so, and Congressional candidates
make gaseous speeches to their con-
stituents muddling their minds
about the tariff, as if it were some
complex metaphysical problem and
not simply a tax which takes 30
much money out Of their pockets,
But it is not easy. The infant
Industries protected by the tariff
have grown to be giants. They
don't want to give up their enor-
NOUS profits. They combine to-
oether and form band Of powerful
corporations representing many
interests. The corporate wealth of
the country In IFS greed for more
profits is arrayed against the intel-
ligent invIdual opinion Of the coun-
try. Lab1rers aud employees are
deceived 81 co-erced, Communities
arc made fools OF by promises Of
development All the interested
classes are appealed to in otder to
prevent reduction of taxation,
The men wha raise sugar, the men
who raise rice. the men who sell
salt, or hemp, or wool, or even
goobcr-peas, tho iron kings and the
climber kings, and all the various in~
tercsts winch make profits by the
yaritf combine in soEd lhalanx to
prevent It's reduction Common
Interests naturally combine. Cor
porat,ons naturally cling together.
Hence we find all these elements
1oipinc together TO make eXrava-
giant appropriations to get rid otouy
surplus in the Treasury in order to
keep up war trxation IN the shape |
of a robhcr tariff. Hence the Blair |
Bi'l bride offered 10 the people and |
all similar measures. Our ve;O /
President is stcinmiug tac tide. Let /
thc people sustain hum.

Progress and Progressive Demo
cIacy.

We have heard much of late from
various newspapers, professedly
democratic, about progress" and
progressive Democracy" We all
believe in progress, but there are
certain principles which do not
change. matters Of moral obIiga-
ton among men, and Of abs tract
justice between them, in many
things no room for progress can be
found, and man can bear % be
called Bourbon" if he held On to
the faith Of his fathers.
There has been wonderful
progress in many things in the
politics of this country. There has
been much progress" in violating
party platforms by candidates placed
upon them There has been d great
deal Of that sort Of progress" among
some Democrats, who support their
party so long as it supports their
views, and serves their interests,
but when the majority differ with
them they betray the party. This
is not said IN any offensive sense,
but is true.
The Democrat who tries to stand
by the old landmarks seems TO these
progressive gentlemen as one be-
hind the spirit Of tits progressive
age. If we resurrect such a Demo
crat as these progressives would
brand as a fossil Of the Silurian
period In the prehistoric age Of
Democracy, and ask him to define
this new departure, he would say
this progress they cant about is
just that sort OF the greatest good
to the greatest number" which
means number "ons." 1t is Just
that sort of progress which. while
making gorgeous promlses ola high
er civilization. and more rapid de-
velopment, finally results in pro-
gress backwards, to-wit: The oppres-
sion Of the many for the enrichment
Of few, aul that, too, BY many
devious and tortuous methods, and
over paths paved with deceit, And
we can imagine that such a Demo-
cratic fossile of the SiIurian period,
if he should utter prayer for the
preservation Of the usefulness and
integrity of the party to which he
was attached, IN an honest effort to
DO his part for the common veal,
might well say: Deliver US from
that progress which. under the pre-
tence Of bearing gifts to the people
from paternal government, is in
reality fraud upon them, and a
deceitful swindle las the Government
has nothing to give save what the
people pay IN taxes9 Deliver US
from that prog ess With incites the
Government to create a band of cor
polati0ns stronger than their creator.
Deliver us from that progress which
would label one end Of the pendulum
OF compensation in the name of civil
cation and development, and so weight
1t down that, at its next swing, it
would be absorbed in the en-, brace If
anarchy and communism.
And the said old Fossil of the
Siiurian Period' might go farther.
aud say further, when he saw that
this new departure under { he name
of progress" was simply to take care
Of plumber one and abandon prin-.

Of the swag" and the Devil take the

the chest, from which / suffered intense

out obtaining relief, commenced taking
Ayers Cherry Pectoral, and was
Spe ediIy Cured.
